Understanding the Challenges of Urban Freight Deliveries in NYC Today Enables Us to Identify Opportunities for Improved Efficiency in the Last Mile Delivery
Truck activity is economically important to NYC, where over 300,000 jobs are directly dependent on freight. It is critical to ensure that businesses receive deliveries they need to serve city residents and visitors.
• Today, of the 365 million tons of cargo that enter, leave, or pass through NYC each year, 89% is carried by a truck.
In 2045, the same proportion will be delivered by truck, however, tonnage is expected to grow by 68% to 540
million tons.
• There are a total of 125,621 truck crossings into Manhattan per day, and Brooklyn has 73,583 daily trucks crossing
its boundaries.

NOW – American Truckers Lead the Protest Against the Radical Left Government Weaponized Against Trump by Refusing Loads to NYC

Truckers to the rescue—again.
Truckers bravely exposed some of the worst COVID shutdowns in the world when they parked their trucks in Ottowa to protest the iron-fisted approach used against citizens by the Justin Trudeau regime. Truckers in the US showed solidarity for their Canadian neighbors and helped block shipping between the US and Canada in Detroit, Michigan. Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer, who was being considered for Joe Biden’s VP, quickly threatened arrest for truckers who dared to block the Ambassador Bridge.
American truckers are now reportedly threatening to stop deliveries into New York City over the grotesque $350 million judgment against President Trump and his sons Don Jr. and Eric by partisan hack Judge Engoron on Friday.

Update (Sunday):
Trending on X this morning:
Google search trends for “trucker boycott” surging across nation:
And “boycott NYC”…
“I’m a trucker, and I stand with the boycott. Time to show the corrupt we run this country. Not them,” one X user said.
Trump endorses trucker strike against NYC.
A pro-Trump trucker and right-wing influencer who goes by the handle Chicago Ray posted a video to X, formerly Twitter, on Friday night claiming that he has spoken to “at least” 10 truckers who will “start refusing loads” headed for New York City. Ray wants truckers to stop deliveries to the city in the wake of a New York court ruling ordering the former president to pay $355 million in damages after he and the Trump Organization were found liable for committing financial fraud. And Trump supports their efforts.
“Such an honor to have so many Great Patriots on the side of FREEDOM!” Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, celebrating the trucker campaign on Saturday night. “Joe Biden’s Unfair and Dangerous Weaponization of Law Enforcement is a serious threat to Democracy. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
“Trump just posted my video and picture on his Truth Social account, pretty fucken cool,” Ray posted Sunday alongside a screenshot of Trump’s post.

SOME TRUCKERS WILL REFUSE TO DELIVER LOADS IN NEW YORK CITY STARTING MONDAY
February 17, 2024
Oh, I hope this grows.. According to reports, some truckers are going to start refusing service to New York City after the judgement against Trump yesterday for $364 million. If enough truckers join in on this, New York City will be up shit’s creeks. I hope it happens.
It’s time for New York City and their communist voters to start feeling the effects of their own policies. I guess thousands of violent illegals wasn’t enough.
How many trucks enter NYC each day?
Around 200 million tons of freight move into and out of the five boroughs every year. The trucking industry is the backbone of New York’s freight movement, responsible for delivering nearly 90% of these goods. More than 120,000 commercial trucks enter and exit New York City every day, and that number is increasing.Jun 8, 2023
